Muscle & Movement Conditions We Help With in East Kilbride
Common Issues We Treat At The Clinic
As a sports therapist in East Kilbride, Ross works with people dealing with everyday aches, training niggles, and movement issues that keep showing up. Most of these problems have simple explanations once you look at how the body is moving and which areas are taking more load than they should.
Below are some of the common issues people come in with. Each one has its own page where you can learn more about what might be going on and how we approach it.
Browse Common Conditions
-
Back Pain
Tightness, stiffness, or discomfort that builds through the day or returns after sitting. Often linked to how you move, lift, or hold yourself during work.
-
Neck & Shoulder Pain
Aches from desk work, tension that doesn’t fully settle, or irritation when you train. Often connected to load, posture, and how much certain areas are doing.
-
Sciatica‑Type Symptoms
Leg or glute discomfort that can feel sharp, dull, or persistent. Usually influenced by movement patterns, sitting habits, or how you load certain areas.
-
Hip Pain
Pinching, tightness, or a feeling that one side is doing more work than the other. Often linked to how you walk, sit, or train.
-
Knee Pain
Discomfort on stairs, during training, or after long periods on your feet. Usually related to how the hips, feet, and knees share load.
-
Foot & Ankle Issues
Stiffness, reduced confidence when walking, or irritation during running. Often connected to load, footwear, or how the foot moves through each step.
-
Hamstring Tightness
A “pulling” or tight feeling that never fully goes away, especially during sport or lifting. Often a sign that the hamstring is doing more than its fair share.
-
Shoulder Clicking or Irritation
Noisy or sensitive shoulders during overhead work or pressing movements. Usually linked to control, load sharing, or how the shoulder moves through range.
